Just wanted to share a heartwarming event that I witnessed at McDonald's last week. Yes, McDonald's. The one in South Station, to be exact. So I was in line, finally at the front, and a very homeless-looking man comes staggering up to the counter, holding an order of fries. He says to the man behind the counter (while sort of slurring his words) something along the lines of, "You know... you would think that when I order a large fry, I'll GET a large fry!" I looked at the fries and thought that he was missing one, MAYBE two fries to make this thing completely full. But the guy at the counter said, with a huge smile, "You're absolutely right, sir! Let me fill that up for you." And he did! And then the homeless-looking guy thanked him, and the guy behind the counter said, "It's our job to make you smile!"

The guy walked away with a very full serving of fries, and I stepped up to order my Southern Style Chicken Meal. All was right in the world.
